一个句子的语法解析
Virginia Woolf’s provocative statement about her intentions in writing Mrs.Dalloway has regularly been ignored by the critics,since it highlights an aspect of her literary interests（that is） very different from the traditional picture of the "poetic" novelist concerned with examining states of reverie and vision and with following the intricate pathways of individual consciousness.
打括号的that is 为何可以省略,省略是基于英语语法的什么原则?

答案

都是作定语,不省that is 是定语从句作定语修饰an aspects of her interests,省略之后则是形容词短语very different from~作定语修饰an aspects of her interests.(形容词短语作定语修饰名词时需后置,故可省略that is).
